true a better hurdle...but cushings is 260 lbs so he gets to play the weight card for jumps.

x2
I totally respect heavyweight good jumpers , i posted Jukebox's jump just because i found it in my subscription page right after seeing Cushing's video.
Still , hurdle jumps are kinda lame (vert-wise ) , just like box jumps.

Bball training.
Breaths , pop , strength , jumps , all good.
Got a 30'' dropstep jump and a 32,5'' 2-steps DLRVJ.
32,5'' is a season best , it's also just 0,5'' before "dunk attempt" status.
Good shit...

Injuries/aches: Left shoulder bugging , its a permanent thing , triggered whenever i go jumping ( sudden hyperextensions ) after a long time.


damn, make sure you warm that shoulder up real good then.. shoulder rotations, maybe 'dislocates' with a rope, shoot around for a bit maybe.. really loosen it up.

pc

Yup , i allways do a good warmup on it , rotations , towel dislocates etc , it will still hurt. Nothing much though , its an age-bonus , as i've posted again you just learn to live with those pains :D

How many inches do you think you give up on DLRVJ on concrete vs. wood?

Depends on the wood , there are some specific courts that have super bounce , i get 1-2'' there.
I think i jump about the same with concrete on "average" wooden courts.
Having said that , i can do much more maximal jumps on wood , the absorbtion on landings really makes a difference. And also i am not afraid to give 100% im my plant , on concrete i am always afraid of slipping. Jumps are also more 'easy' and 'smooth' on wood.
So the real difference is that being able to do many jumps and give 100% in each , you are more sure you will have one true max jump in there.

how about making a post/sticky that has acronyms so us newbies can go find out what it is?  usually i can kinda figure it out but sometimes i'm just totally lost and have to google (and in this case bss google results = not relevant).  seems like it would cut down the time a lot for newbies if it can be gathered into a single post.  :-)


Good idea...

220x8 on BSS is NUTS! Congratsx2 man! Were you holding 110 lb dumbbells in each hand or were you barbell loaded with 220 lbs?

Peace

Thanks man!
Nah , i cant hold so heavy DBs , i suppose i can't even do them with a free barbell , i do them at the smith machine that really helps keep the balance.
I was doing them with DB's but when i reached doing them with 60's i couldn't hold them for 8+8 reps.

ya i know. i just dont understand why you would want to do a money-set in a hypertrophy workout. I think working up to a same set 4x6 would be better, even if it is less weight. on the strength workouts, money set ftw.

Well i see your point and youre'right but the workouts are hypertrophy-emphasised , its not like im bodybuilding , #1 goal is always strength.
If i did steady weight last night id have to do the sets at ~230-240lbs , that 286 money set would be lost! 4x6 with money set is a great combination of max strength with good hypertrophy.



Nice job on the BSS man, beastly!

damn 220 x 8 on BSS is ridonkulous.. congrats man, sick pr.

Thanks guys !  :highfive:

why  do u only do 1 set x6 if ur doing a hypertrophy workout? 

It's 4x6 but im not using steady weight , building up to a "money-set".
1x6 is not 6 singles , it is 1 set of 6 reps , im loging it like that because of the different weight used in each set.
Im also doing warmups ( 10xbar , 6x40% , 4x60% 2x80% of starting weight ) that i dont log.
4x6 squat + 3x8 BSS + 4x8 leg curl is pretty much hypertrophy.
